Last night, former NFL Defensive Player of the Year Jason Taylor hosted one of his many annual charity events in South Florida.  His Jason Taylor Foundation Poker Tournament took place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. 

For a $300 buy-in, players also gained access to an exclusive player party at the L Bar cocktail lounge from 5-7 p.m.  Then they took place in a No Limit Hold'em tournament.  

$10,000 in prizes were at stake and hal of the buy-in cost went directly to Taylor's foundation.  There was also a silent auction that allowed people to bid on items throughout the night.  

Taylor played 15 NFL seasons and was best known for his three stints with the Miami Dolphins.  He ranks sixth in league history with 139.5 sacks.  

Uniquely, Taylor also holds the NFL record with six fumble return touchdowns.  Overall, he was a six-time Pro Bowl pick and four-time All-Pro.  

Taylor holds Dolphins records for career sacks and forced fumbles.  He was inducted into the franchise's Honor Roll in 2012.
